Jack Thornton, age 29, has started a construction company with his best friend, Lee Coulter in Cape Cod, MA. Several states away, Elizabeth Thatcher and her best friend, Rosie Levoux work as real estate stagers. When Rosie meets Lee and moves north, will Elizabeth soon follow, and, if so, will she finally meet the man who will cause sparks to fly in her world?

This is a modern story of Jack and Elizabeth , 2016, moving through life, and hopefully finding love along the way. I have enjoyed the modern day stories that have been posted, and thought I would try my hand at one as well. I hope you enjoy it!

Jack & Elizabeth both felt their lives were set until tragedy struck one & emotional heartbreak found the other. Neither has plans to settle into another relationship. They say that time heals all wounds, so, if it is meant to be, it will be. If their dogs (Goose and Olive)have anything to say about it, they will be what each one needs to move on and find happiness again.

Elizabeth, 28, has received her Master's Degree, is moving out of the family home, rented her own place, is starting a new job, and has a new puppy to help occupy her time. Jack, 31, is a graduate of law school, and seems to be on the fast track to an appointment as a Judge. Will they make an impression on each other when they meet, and if so, how will life's journey affect them?

Elizabeth received her Master's Degree in Communications and is starting her career as an on-air reporter. Jack is a 29 year old retired Navy Lieutenant, whose fighter pilot career came to an abrupt end due to an injury. Now, as a company pilot, will he and Elizabeth cross paths, and if they do, will the mysterious black Labrador they both encounter have anything to do with it?

Jack thought he had it all; a pro-baseball career, money, and charitable work that he dearly loved. That is until a near career ending injury forced him to return to the minor leagues. Never in a million years would he ever have thought that a demotion of sorts could offer such profound possibilities. Now, if he can only talk Elizabeth into giving him a chance!

Jack and Elizabeth were young and in love. Each one had dreams for the future. Jack wanted a music career; Elizabeth wanted security and eventually a family. When Jack's band "The Packrats" won a contest and were awarded a 1 year contract with a major record label, they went their separate ways. Now divorced with a 7 years old daughter they are again face to face. What will happen?

Elizabeth Thatcher is doing her best to have it all, a career, & personal life, neither of which seems to be falling into place. Jack Thornton, a patrolman on the west coast, has his own personal issues & sees the need for a change. With friends in common and with each one putting all of their effort into work, what will happen when their world's collide? Will the time be right?

A modern story... Jack and Elizabeth have not yet met. Neither one wants simply "good." Each one wants something extraordinary and are willing to wait for the right someone. Jack is certain that she exists; he's seen her, and he has a strong faith that they will meet. Others tell them to move on, but they choose to listen to their hearts.

Jack & Elizabeth have started their careers, but changes have occurred which place their lifelong dreams within reach. Both have been clearly focused on 1 thing...work, w/ romance & love taking a back seat. Both feel that relationships will come later, but not right now. Neither one feels that they have the time to give to a relationship. But then again, they haven't met yet.

Jack and Elizabeth have a chance meeting which doesn't last long. Thinking he knows who she is, he accepts a blind date, only to immediately realize that she's not the one. As his friends have suggested, is it really possible for him to come across her when he least expects it? And if he does, will she be as taken by him as he is of her?

Jack and Elizabeth have never met. However, a weekend away with their respective friends may change all of that. They are each under misconceptions, assuming that the cards are not in their favor. What are the chances that they could be wrong?

Elizabeth and Jack met in their freshman year of college. Although they were relatively inseparable, they did not start officially dating until their sophomore year. Their plan...move to wherever Elizabeth is accepted for graduate school, with marriage on the horizon. That is until Jack experiences a devastating loss, and withdraws from everyone. Will his choices ruin everything?

A modern story... Jack and Elizabeth dated all through college. Unfortunately their respective dreams pulled them apart. Years have passed & they have attempted to move on. Little do they know but they are closer to rekindling those emotions than they are aware. Sadly, I feel that Carson, although maybe a likeable fellow, may get in between Jack and Elizabeth in S4. Time will tell!

Several months have passed since Jack and Elizabeth shared that first special kiss. They are courting, and learning more and more about each other. Ride along as they grow independently, and in their relationship as a couple. This is my first attempt at anything like this. I am not sure that I have any talent to continue, but I have to say that it was fun!

Elizabeth has made a decision to teach in a small town, Hope Valley, located hundreds of miles from everything she knows an everyone she loves. Jack has his 1st posting in Hope Valley, attempting to work his way up to a more exciting post. Will Rosemary win back Jack, or will he and Elizabeth find their heart and home in Hope Valley?

The Season 2 cliffhanger left many of us saddened by Charles' return, and subsequent marriage proposal to Elizabeth. This story changes the cliffhanger slightly, and adds what I would have liked to have seen, had the show been 30 minutes longer!
